G. Scapinelli. Maracana side table in caviuna wood.

Super side table in excellent condition. In caviuna. The exquisite "Maracana" side table is a rare and highly sought-after piece created by Guiseppe Scapinelli, a renowned Italian designer who had a significant impact on the design scene in São Paulo during the 1950s and 1960s. Born in 1891, Scapinelli was a master of furniture and retail whose distinct style was characterised by curved lines and soft shapes. These design elements draw inspiration from the elegance of Italian design in the 1940s, setting Scapinelli apart from the current offerings of his contemporaries in Brazil. Skillfully crafted from luxurious Brazilian caviuna wood, the Maracana side table showcases Scapinelli's attention to detail and quality. Its round, sculptural form is both aesthetic and functional. The table features four gracefully curved legs that converge and connect via a wooden ring, providing a sense of stability and balance to the overall design. The tabletop consists of a stunning round marble slab, framed by the rich caviuna wood structure. This juxtaposition of materials creates a striking contrast between the warmth and natural beauty of the wood and the cool, elegant sophistication of the marble. This harmonious blend of materials reflects Scapinelli's design prowess and his ability to create furniture that is both aesthetic and practical.
